| Audio Magic umbilical w/ Modwright CD players Thanks BF, Looking forward to your assessment of their sound differences when they are broken in. I'm in no big hurry. Just want to make the better choice, especially if it's a big difference. Has MW endorsed the AM umbilical to anyone's knowledge? | |
| Modified Lenco vs TW Raven I had a Maplenoll Ariadne air bearing tt/arm that sounded just plain beautiful but had potential to have an accident involving the cantilever if any of the air supply's many parts failed or disconnected. After selling it, I had many different tt's... | |
| Anti-Cable Level 3 spker cable: Improved or same? Sunnyjim, Philip has 3 ads in Agon right now for the Amadi cables. Use the Agon system to contact him in writing about trying out the cables. The Maddie Signatures are his top of the line, followed by the Phil Ref, and then the Barb Masters. The p... | |
| Anti-Cable Level 3 spker cable: Improved or same? Find any ad on Agon for Amadi cables--often in the auctions. Then just send Philip (George) a question. The Maddie Signature is his top of the line. I assure you he's in business and that is how I got to try them. The MG Planus III copper 6 ft. se... | |
| Anti-Cable Level 3 spker cable: Improved or same? Thanks for the system comment, SJ. I love the sound of this system. The Darwin cables, starting with the Silver, were just way better than anything I've had in my system. They don't sound bright, but are very revealing and alive sounding. I think ... | |
| Anti-Cable Level 3 spker cable: Improved or same? I had been an Anticable user for about 3 years. Figured there had to be something significantly better sounding out there as the cable doesn't have much involved in making one. I used over 6 different cables but always came back to the Anticables ... | |
| Small room....treating 1st reflection points This advice was given to me by Roy Johnson of Green Mountain Audio speakers. If the foam you have is high density foam, like what's used for seat pads of furniture, you'll get very good benefit at the highs and mids if you cut a 4' by 4' piece of ... | |
| Looking for an advice about speaker cables For the money, Speltz Anticables are VERY tough to beat and have a very transparent sound. You can get a new 8 ft. pair for under $80 with spades to attach to the posts. It took me paying $600 for severely discounted cables that will eventually se... | |
| Need a good Nerd Opinion - Biwire Best Value I will second the Speltz Anticables. I had a few differently configured pairs such as 8 footers, and the last times 11 ft. with an 18 ft. Could tell no difference in sound from the 8's. Was no perceivable difference left and right with the two run... | |
| Upgrade from Cambridge Audio 840C to lessen glare? Hi Brian, Been through many changes mostly good and a few learning experiences in the past 5 years particularly. Look into Darwin Silver ICs ($295 new, less if demo pair)--very reasonably priced and WAY better sounding in clarity, dynamics, and be... | |
| 3 speaker cable options - what to choose? I've owned the Morrow SP-3s and SP-5s biwired and there is little difference in sound between them. They are both nice. I'd always returned to Speltz Anticables because they sound more transparent and live. I believe the Morrow cables are an ingen... | |
| Looking for great cable Look at Darwin Silver ($295), or Darwin Ascension ($595). The Silvers were a tranformational step-up in sound from the Morrow MA-4s and 3s I had. They look cheap, but the sound is wonderful. I have a very resolving system and they are the last ICs... | |
| Aerial 20T's, Original Speaker Stands Buy the 2" Audio Points from Star Sound Technologies. Will probably sound as good and might even be better sounding than the points that came with the Aerials. They have them in the thread you want. They are solid brass and many users swear by the... | |
| cd player recommendation If you have never heard a Modwright either Sony 9000, 9100, 5400, or the Oppo 83, 95, or 105 modded by Modwright, the sound is outrageously good in all respects. It will disarm your ears at the amount of improvement you hear. I've had both the 900... | |
| Armboard for Rega on Kenwood kd 500 I had a KD-500 for 20 years with a Grace 707 arm. If you don't have an armboard with your Kenwood at all, you could make one if you have a router by cutting a perfect circle out of mdf or a hardwood (maple maybe) by making a template that was much... |
